Wheatears, there they were gone !.



                                    Mistle Thrushes hit Foxhill Park.

Checked Tracys Wheatear field at 1830hrs tonight and found just one female Wheatear remaining along with 2 Meadow Pipits. NK and Denise had 6 this morning so most had moved on during the night or first thing and the rest followed today. Well done again Tracy for an excellent record.
Foxhill Park at lunchtime held 5 Mistle Thrush which is a rare bird for up there but by this evening they had moved on.
LBB gulls were still trickling through today with 9 counted >N and a very high Sparrowhawk >NNE midday which coincided with a grapevine report of 2 over Lee Mount >E, DJS.
